Let us know what the damage (repair estimate) is. I think many multiple car owners have done the same. Me, I was backing one car along another and the side mirror put a crease in the quarter panel of the other. One broken mirror on #1 car and a twelve inch crease across the gas tank door and quarter panel. I don't know why I wasn't looking right as I backed out, but was looking left.

Bummer man... I have never done that myself, but have come damn close!
My son ran my Riv back up into my Tahoe just a week or so ago. Not a mark on the ol' Tahoe "The Beast" of course but Elvira has a nice buckled up fender now!
Of course he took it upon himself to try and pound it out vs. telling me about it and having a professional try to pop it out! Damage is done now!

Yes it is nice to own multiple cars . . . but when you run into your own car, on your own driveway, that is frigging pathetic! 
My HHR SS now has a boo boo!
The poor HHR crumpled like a aluminum can . . . my Silverado faired much better . . .
Oh well . . . I guess I'll be supporting the local economy by having TWO cars at the shop . . .
I still can't believe I did it . . . though I'd give you all the chance to laugh (now) with me . . . (or at me . . . )

I did the exact same thing to the SS on saturday night.
Hit my lifted silverado right before the rear wheelwell and the damage looks to be identical to yours. Pisses me off to no end. I have been driving for 17 years and never hit a thing. In one afternoon I trashed both of my cars in my own driveway after telling my wife we need to watch for the truck when backing out.......fawk
I was so pissed that my poor passenger side of mirror in the truck took a right cross.......Broke the lighted turn signal/heater mirror....double fawk!!!

I've been fortunate enough not to hit anything yet, but I have had a heck of a time getting used to this car backing up. I've had a couple of close calls and the blind spots can be tricky....
